When I started my blog in 2019 I wanted to write both technical and personal posts.

After 2 cancelled days the Advanced Hybrid Coupling external parallel run finally started on business day 2026-04-17!

Last year I wrote about fluctuations in the market and the effects on grid constraints.

I have received many requests over the years for people wanting to use my private databases.

The flowbased capacity calculation system as a whole, and the domain specifically, can be pretty daunting to people who are just learning about it.

On the 25th of June, the new Core IDCC(c) capacity calculation will go live.

Summary One of the (many) things that keeps my work interesting is that the system I work on is very dynamic.

A while ago, I wrote the first part of my “year in review” series of 2023.

Another year is over, and I wanted to write a ‘year in review’ series about the electricy system in 2023!

Recently, it was announced that the Nordic Flowbased go-live was delayed due to IT issues.

Recently a well known participant in the dutch energy debate, lector Martien Visser, wrote tweets and a column setting out his view that the current day ahead market design is not a good business case for NL anymore.

A full year ago the Flowbased capacity calculation methodology went live in the CORE region.

On the 11th of May a new kind of operational message was published on the TenneT NL feed.

The day ahead market has fascinated me since the very first day that I started working in the sector.

The Nordic Flowbased external parallel run is still going strong and its two months since my first look so time for an update!

The Flowbased capacity calculation methodology that I have written about earlier is not meant only for continental Europe.

This post is part of a series written to celebrate the launch of Amun Analytics.

In the weekend of 23th and 24th of April 2022 the day ahead prices in the Netherlands reached record lows.

Intuitive and non intuitive flows The recent market developments put the spot light on all kinds of interesting behaviour of the way European electricity market works.

When I talk to friends and family about the electricitymarket, they often do not realise the large reliance of the electricity market on gas.

As those that I have spoken with personally recently are well aware by now, I am working at TenneT at the System Operation Transport division, mainly on flowbased capacity calculation and bidding zone review topics.

Graduated!

While I’m finishing the last touches on my graduation thesis (posts about that will follow soon) I wanted to take my mind off a little bit with some hobby.

Introduction Welcome back to a new part in my blog series about my graduation project.

Introduction This second post of the series about my graduation project focusses on the De-Dispersion methods that are considered and their algorithms.

Introduction This post will be the first in a series about my graduation project.
